English Premier League 08/09

[roosta]

Ok...so we're kicked off again....

Don't think too much should be drawn from the first weekend (if memory serves me correctly Manchester United drew on the opening day of the season last year?).

Arsenal seemed to be same as usual, dominance of possession and lots of passing but not enough danger in the box. Still, looked like there could be good things to come. Nasri could be a perfectly fine replacement for Hleb, but we do need to replace Flamini. Barry? Alonso? Liverpool make up your mind so we can make up ours...

I have the worrying feeling that this is going to be Chelsea's year. They have the squad, and if Grant wasn't the man to do it then Scolari could well be. :/

Stoke got a nasty introduction...being raped by Bolton...ouch.

Villa for 5th.

[Adam]

Stoke got a nasty introduction...being raped by Bolton...ouch...

Yeah, it was one big sausage-fest orgy! They loved it tho and wanted more, probably shouldn't of been wearing those shorts if they wasn't asking for it. Cus we know they was. Oh yeah, feel that slip between your nets - whats that you say? You want that again! BAM! BAM! BAM!

[Drederick Tatum]

there's no excuse for Chelsea not to win it. quality in every position with a decent manager.

Arsenal need a DM to watch Fabregas' back, Barry would be good, and hopefully Djourou develops quickly so Senderos doesn't need to play. ever. again......other than that they should be good for 3rd/4th and a decent run in the knock-out comps. Nasri could be great.

[Nygel]

I like my newcastle this year, not extraordinary but far more solid with the three new signings. I'm glad to see Spurs get beat though, even though I like Newcastle I think Middlesborough has done well with signing a good striker and Digard, I like him a lot.

But did anyone notice during the newcastle man utd game that when man utd equalized the camera went to CRonaldo in teh stands and he gave some fruity golf clap for about 2 seconds and then started texting? He shows a lot of passion.

wtf?

[Adam]

wtf?

Sorry, was being sarcastic

I hate the word "raped" used as anything where something feels they have done some good out of it. I doubt Bolton want to feel they are rapists.

Just seems a cool word to use these days cus its gets used in online computer games all the time...

used to be owls - home and away every match but I'm a snob and kinda dislike football now*

Sorry, roosta - wasn't having a go, its a personal preference that gets to me. I also really dislike 'lol' and 'gay' used all the time on the web, I know the internets is the wrong place for me really

*yes I've checked if my penis has fallen off and it hasn't.

edit: sorry for hijacking thread - back to football. I'll say this'll be liverpools year cus all the other three will concead because they are feeling nice

[notorious G.U.T]

my team is Arsenal but i think its Chelsea thats gonna take it. they are stacked. i also think ManU is in for a downfall. i am sick and tired of Christiano Ronaldo and his greasy hair and his flopping all over the place

[Nygel]

here here!

I hope Arsenal win. And Spurs finish horribly. I think Newcastle will be good this year (i is fan) but I don't expect them pushing into the top 4 or anything (I do think you'd see them do it before Tottenham though)

i think you're deluded, newcastle are shit, and kevin keegan is a cunt

[Nygel]

alright. we all know your a narrowheaded douchebag, we get the point.

[Drederick Tatum]

Man City now owned by some U.A.E royalty. more resources than Abramovich, so the first thing they do is teabag Chelsea and buy Robinho.

and finally the Berbatov saga has come to an end. but it seems that City could've also stolen him from Man Utd. now that would've been funny.

Arsenal, despite stories of 30million euros to spend, buy no one. even Everton threw some money around. it could be a turbulent season for the Gunners. I just hope no one important gets injured as they have the depth of a paddling pool.

[roosta]

Fucking madness yesterday. Chelsea were out-Chelsea'd by Manchester fucking City.

Pity Spurs sold to United, they could probably have done them for acting inappropriately.

I really, really, really wish Arsenal had of strengthened their squad. Its going to be a tough, tough year now.

I don't think City have a chance of breaking the Top 4 this season, everyones getting a little bit too excited. But if they have the money they are claiming then next Summer will be even crazier. And if Arsenal remain to be un-bankrolled by foreign money and Arsene continues to resist buying players then we could be in serious trouble.

Fun!

Premiership teams don't have Euros, they have POUNDS. Euros are for Eurofags.

Arsenal are looking pretty sweet to me. They've got a wealth of raw talent and Wenger knows what he's doing with the Silvestre move. Who better to help raise the youth than somebody who has worked with the greatest manager in the world for 10 years? He must have seen Fergie bring so many young players through that he can replicate the technique by now.

And yeah, yesterday was batshit crazy. I was busy getting drunk last night so didn't check any news or anything, come down to get the paper this morning and WOAH. City are the new Chelsea? What the fuck? I was just starting to get over my lifelong hate for City thanks to the power of my dislike of Chelsea but it looks like we're going to have to refresh that old rivalry now.

Oh well, at least we will have Manchester dominating the top of the table. Fuck those pussy London teams. :)

[Planetary]

alright. we all know your a narrowheaded douchebag, we get the point.

Could be worse, i could be a newcastle united fan. or better yet, i could be a newcastle fan that uses the word douchebag.

[camo]

The city fan stood in the background on sky sports news with a sky blue towel on his head and shades at 10:30 at night was priceless.

The manc derby's were never what they used to be so I'm happy that this will inject some interest into the occassion.

Haha, owned. The only reason he supports Newcastle is because they have the same kit as Juventus. What a tosser.

Don't be bitter because your shitty club just lost their shitty manager. Support your local team, pea balls.

you already admitted thats why you like newcastle you nonce. but hey its not all bad. maybe one day soon newcastle fans will put their tops back on and you won't have a terrible season (Y)

[Nygel]

i haven't a local team. And I never said that is why I like them, I said that is not why I liked them. I said I support Juve and then I recently came became fond of Newcastle.

And I don't liek Keegan, I don't like Wise either. I wish they'd get Shearer in, not because of he would be a good manager (who knows?) but I don't think they'd sack him as fast as the others.

And I know they are a 'shitty' club (its not like a support fulham, jesus) but I quite like them. oh well. sorry for liking a team :(

[Lex Diamonds]

Yeah, you better be punk.

I started this internet gangsta shit, and this the motherfuckin' thanks I get? :mad:

[Nygel]

haha, you're no DG.

[Nygel]

also what about Man City's new owners want to buy C Ronaldo, Fabregas and Torres? thoughts?

[paul jones]

i think they bought everyone in manchester. utd just got everyone outside...

Shut up you greasy minge. Only pikey dickheads support City, anyone with half a brain is a Red.

[Drederick Tatum]

are you actually from Manchester, Padster?

[Lex Diamonds]

Er, yeah. Is that a trick question or something?

[camo]

Fuuuuuck that, half the city fans come from oldham and stockport.

Once the money is fully rolling in and city start to do well I'd expect the eastlands to have it's fair share of cockney's and Japanese tourists.

[Drederick Tatum]

now all City have to do is sign some rubbish Chinese players only to increase their commercial potential in Asia and they'll be just like Utd.

Yeah because that was rubbish business sense wasn't it? :rolleyes:

[Drederick Tatum]

not really sure what you're getting at.

it was a great business move, the actual players though we're rather average. how many times did Dong Fangzhuo play for United?

I took it that you were digging at united for a decent business move they did.

Oh and one appearance but plenty of shirt revenue.

[Guy Incognito]

all the goings on at the middle eastlands is really interestin but knowin city they'll fuck it up somehow - they always do and it will be hilarious.
Feel sorry for shaun wright phillips - he left the old chelsea and now he's joined the new one!

[Planetary]

Er, yeah. Is that a trick question or something?

lol way to lie

[Lex Diamonds]

How is that a lie, shaftbreath?

[Nygel]

keegans gone, i think im going to pick a new team to like. maybe middlesborough. not that i like keegan, its just that he had a plan and the board were too fucking retarded to understand it. Wise takes over, who everyone hates anyway.... Ashely is a cunt. the only people i like are the players. Which I guess is a good reason to liek a team, but fuck..... unless they kick wise out and ashley resigns, i wont like them as much.

[ToucanSpam]

Arsenal should finish in the top five. I was extremely mad/annoyed/dissapointed at last year, but I have high hopes the Gunners can ride van Persie to some big wins.

[Nygel]

i dont think anyone thinks they wont finish top 5. if they didnt that would be all types of odd

[Drederick Tatum]

hahahatottenhamhahahahahah

[Nygel]

I hope Spurs finish horribly.
yep


but i think the real news beyond that....

Hull City?


wtf?

[roosta]

Sacking Ramos and replacing him with 'Arry, the night before a game.
LOL

Spurs are so entertaining.

[Guy Incognito]

Hull City?


wtf?

they have done brilliant but this sort of thing has happened before, i predict they will finish eighth at best and will sell a couple of players in the summer and be fighting for survival next season. i hope they dont do this but similar things happened with ipswich and wigan a few seasons back. they are an unknown quantity and are being underestimated a bit. plus against west brom yesterday they rode thier luck and coulda been 3 - 0 down before they scored. they gotta play chelsea at home and way to man utd next two games so those games will be a good measure of them. having said all that geovanni is a fantastic player.

[Guy Incognito]

man walks into a bar with his dog. both in full spurs gear.

barman: you cant bring that dog in here
man: aw, come on mate, we just come to watch the spurs game on the telly, we wont be any trouble.

20 mins into the game and spurs take the lead. the dog starts jumping and barking and gets up on the bar and starts doing backflips.

barman: bloody hell, thats amazing, what does he do when they win?
man: dunno, only had him 6 months!

[rirv]

Half time at Stamford Bridge, 1-0 Liverpool.

I know from experience not to get too excited just yet.

[roosta]

fuckin hell Harry got them their first win! LOL!

I hope to fuck the arse thrash them on Wednesday..put them back in their box.

Word.


Also, Hull wtf go away, stop winning.

[roosta]

Word.

No! Hull's current success allow you to retort Liverpool fans who are boasting about being top of the league

"Yeah? Do you think Hull are going to finish third?"

[rirv]

Rather be top of the league and unbeaten than not.

[Drederick Tatum]

nah Hull can keep playing great for all I care. was kinda rude for them to beat us at the Emirates though.

I'd love to see Tottenham go down I don't think it'll happen unfortunately. one of their expensive players will finally start playing well and drag the team up to the lower-mid table. still, for at team that wanted top four status it'll be an abject failure.

[roosta]

Arsenal are the most frustrating team in history.

I want to punch them all in the head.

[Freebasser]

Old 'Arry must've put some extra brain tonic in his team's half-time bath!

Ahhhh, 2-0 against the hammers = good stuff. Still 8 points behind the BinDippers, but they'll return to their usual shitty ways and plummet back down to earth soon enough.

And what's going on at Wigan? C'mon BrokenNose, sort 'em out! (n)

[Drederick Tatum]

Arsenal are the most frustrating team in history.

I want to punch them all in the head.

they played so fucking stupid in injury time. when they should've just been keeping the ball and wasting the final 30 seconds, they were instead trying through balls and pushing for a fifth. Modric hadn't done shit the whole game but he finally gets into a decent position and puts up some loopy nonsense that somehow results in an equaliser.

RVP played well though. if only he wasn't made of glass. Tottenham are at least going to be amusing with Gomes in goal. what a muppet.

[rirv]

Clichy's slip for the third Tottenham goal was funny - Bentley's goal was anooyingly good for such a bellend. Gomes is hilarious - every match I've seen him play sprints out of his goal and punches his own defender in the back of the head whilst missing the ball entirely.

In other news, Lucky Liverpool keep on rollin'.:cool:

[Guy Incognito]

its good having a full midweek program, it should happen more but its not really possible. MOTD was top last night.
Bentley has scored goal of the saeson easy. I fuckin hate the little smug bastard but that was awesome strike.
Berba's bit of skill to set up ronaldo was amazing. We will be up there at the end of the saeson no doubt. We got a game in hand, beat the mickeys at our place and the difference is only two points. I still think that chelsea will win it this year but its going to be very tight between the three teams, i dont think the arse have got a hope of winning the league this year.

[Drederick Tatum]

it's games like last night's where they need a bit of real leadership. an Adams, not a Gallas.

[Planetary]

That second utd goal yesterday, what was wrong with them all? berbatov and ronaldo looked like they were at a funeral for fucks sake

[rirv]

Yeah, I noticed that. Ronaldo seems to be doing his best to look sullen and annoyed that he has to play football for £5million a year. Berbatov has got his "dream move" and now looks more depressed than he was at Spurs. I don't think there has ever been a likeable Man Utd player.

[roosta]

it's games like last night's where they need a bit of real leadership. an Adams, not a Gallas.

yup.

Truth is...we never replaced Vieira.....other than the European run few years back we've been directionless since he left.

[Drederick Tatum]

true. Fabregas has got all the skills but he is still only in his very early 20s so is yet to develop the mental qualities of a true vet....and when his midfield partner is even younger than he is, well, a bit of age wouldn't go amiss really. someone like Toulalan would be good, even though he's only 25 he's got wise grey hair already.

[roosta]

true. Fabregas has got all the skills but he is still only in his very early 20s so is yet to develop the mental qualities of a true vet.


Yup.

Plus, he's a different player than Vieira. I think what happened is that we were all blind-sided by Cesc's rise, its like he took over as the central midfielder superstar role that Vieira left...but he's a different player.

Last season Cesc shined along side Flamini...Flamini played that role and Cesc was free to do this thing. And we lost Flamini.

[Planetary]

two words: xabi alonso

or!

one word: mascherano (if we're being unrealistic)

[Drederick Tatum]

it's almost not even a question of what kind of player they are. Arsenal just need someone with the mental strength that others can look to. at the end of the Tottenham game leadership could've come even in the simplest form, like just overtly choosing not to play a 50/50 pass and instead playing a simple back pass. something like that would've been a clear sign to the rest of the team that everything was under control, that a two goal lead was enough, and it was time to keep the ball.

of course Mascherano would be a great fit, but he'd be a great fit for nearly any team. possibly the best DM in the world.

[rirv]

two words: xabi alonso

or!

one word: mascherano (if we're being unrealistic)

Imagine if there was one team who could play with them both?

Oh, wait...

[roosta]

Arsenal 2 - 1 Manchester United

GOONERS NEVER SAY DIE

[Drederick Tatum]

there's only one Samir Nasri!!

[rirv]

At least Arsenal's win made the fight for third place more interesting.

[Freebasser]

There's more chance of John Lennon arse-ramming George Harrison in Lime Street Station than there is of your lot winning the league.

yeah because we hadnt ever won anything before he came along. one man does not make a team, flower. He's got the talent but he's got a built in nobhead chip which keeps making him say and do stupid things. I dont care if he goes now, sure he's done great for us but its not as big a loss as cantona, beckham or FERGUSON! Thats when i'll start worrying when the big man goes. If Cris does go I reckon we'll get the chequebook out for ashley young if he carries on playing like he is now.

you do not win the champions league without ronaldo last year, end of story. before him there was only 1 in the past 30 years.

[rirv]

I've always found the argument that "you only won because of x,y or z player" quite redundant. That's the whole point. You have better players than other teams. As a Liverpool fan you always hear "if it wasn't for Gerrard/Torres scoring that goal" or "if it wasn't for Reina making all those awesome saves" you wouldn't have won. No shit. That's the whole point. You try and get better players playing together in a team so you can beat the other team.

When/If Ronaldo leaves United (and we can all breathe a sigh of relief as the Cheshire air becomes a bit clearer) it's not like United will suddenly start playing with ten men. They are allowed to replace him. Sure he scored a shitload of goals last season, but I'm sure without him United would have filled in the blanks quite easily.

There is no way of knowing if we would have won it without him so its a pretty shite argument. Sure he scored loads of goals but someone else could have chipped in, played a similar role. who knows. All i do know is we aint gonna fall apart without him and will probably make sure we have someone decent to replace him before he goes. I am not going to lose any sleep when he goes. Since fergie took over he has gotten rid of players who were pivotal before and we were still successful. You must remember that fergie has been very influential to ronaldo and not the other way round, its not like we bought this super wonder footballer who was a world beater straightaway. Its taken time and effort from Cris, fergie and he is helped by being in a great team. I'm not even sure he will be as effective in another team.

LOL

The fact is that ronaldo was able to score all those goals because we were solid at the back, solid and creative in midfield and had loads of options up front and ronaldo was allowed free reign.
IMO, The arse have a long way to go, you need to get rid of that bellend Van persie. He's talented but he's a cock. I think Villa will pip you lot for fourth this year.

For getting sent off at stoke for starters. I never denied that ronaldo isnt of similar brain skills, RVP is an arrogant twat who hasnt consistently performed yet. I appreciate he is one of those players, like ronaldo, whose club supporters love and everyone else hates, i just dont think he's all that

you buy that, that's sweet.

please. when you are good enough to be able to play in any squad, why would you not want to play on a team you have dreamed to play on your whole life?

it was mutual luck that man u bough him. for him because it helped him develop into the player he is, for the club because it is a different team when hes not in it going 100%.

but i bet you in his head he never thought when man u bought him that he would be finishing his carear in the land of bad food and crappy weather.

[camo]

I actually believe it was £12.5 mill that brought him to Old Trafford, it's not like he just tripped up and landed outside of Carrington.

As a Man U fan, from Manchester I can tell you that Ronaldo is slowly dividing the fans. At one side you have the die hard ronnie fans who love him for who he is and what he does, but at the other you have the fans who are sick and tired of his petulance and his lack of commitment during the summer.

I wouldn't miss him if he left, sure he's been a great player but no player is bigger than this club.

Maybe Ronnie just gets caught up in his own hype?


Oh and he did dick all in the champions league, that was a team effort.

Diaby was comically awful when he came on against Liverpool. He has zero ball control and always looks like he is going to fall over.

[Guy Incognito]

Buy Darren Fletcher, please!!!!

are you mental? Sure he isnt the greatest player in the world but he is greatly improved, been deputising for scholes and supporting carrick brilliantly this season, scored goals but should have scored more. we need players like fletcher and o shea to help sustain the form over the saeson, keep hold of darren for now and certainly dont flog him to the arse.

[camo]

You watch him week in and week out... he squanders about five shots a game from deep in and then stands there looking upset whilst he opposition break around him.
Yeah I agree, he's been a better player but he needs to learn how to finish if he's gonna take so many shots.

[checkyourprez]

I actually believe it was £12.5 mill that brought him to Old Trafford, it's not like he just tripped up and landed outside of Carrington.

As a Man U fan, from Manchester I can tell you that Ronaldo is slowly dividing the fans. At one side you have the die hard ronnie fans who love him for who he is and what he does, but at the other you have the fans who are sick and tired of his petulance and his lack of commitment during the summer.

I wouldn't miss him if he left, sure he's been a great player but no player is bigger than this club.

Maybe Ronnie just gets caught up in his own hype?


Oh and he did dick all in the champions league, that was a team effort.

thats because it was a big game. ronaldo hides in big games. (i know he scored the goal no need to point that out, but still his performances was nothing to brag about)

[camo]

It's more than one game but like I said he never did anything special in the champions league. I suppose being man marked for the entire campaign didn't help him.

'ronaldo hides in big games'

Sounds like something someone with no idea just blurts out in the pub. You don't win the Ballon d’Or trophy by banging a few past West Brom or Sunderland.

[Guy Incognito]

If ronaldo is hiding in games then someone on the other side must be doing a good job and that can create openings for others.
He is a massive threat and other teams will employ strategies to deal with him, players that good force sides to do things differently sometimes and that can be expolited with a team that has such a devastingly awesome frontline like ours.
My point is that as people keep saying, it really is a team game and no one is bigger than the team or the club.

i am a student of the game my friend with literally thousands of hours playing and watching under my belt. i am not denying his awesome jaw dropping skill. i know he does stuff most people never dream of, and that takes tons and tons of practice. however, champions league, euros, world cups, WHERE IS HE?

thats where maradonna became a legend. scoring a goal like he did against england is magical. im sure he did many the same thing against the likes of torino and lecce when he was at napoli but no one remembers him for that, you get what im saying?

what kaka did to manchester two years ago is the stuff legend is made of. pouting and being marked out of big games is not. score all the goals he likes in a league that is suited to his talents (extreme quickness and speed + wide open spaces of the english game = lots of goals) but until he does it on the big stage there really is no argument.

I knew you'd bold that bit up.

Maradonna is the exact antithesis of Ronaldo. He was a big game player and played his best football internationally. He was too random at club level (blame cocaine).

That was Kaka two years back, Kaka today is a man destined to be heavily marked, he's being kicked off the pitch week in week out at the moment. I'm sure most flair players have a great season and then spend the next few being tactically marked. That's just how it goes.

Actually the Premier league is too fast for flair players and you have the least space. From the first and final whistle the game never slows and it's seen as the most physical league in the world. Someone with Ronaldo's skill would be better placed in Seria A or La liga where the pace is actually slower and you are gifted the space to showboat.

[Drederick Tatum]

saying Ronaldo hides in big games implies that it's a conscious decision on his part when really it's due to the heavy man marking he is subjected to. it happens to most great players, see Kaka vs Marscherano.

[Guy Incognito]

you may have seen this on the internet over the last 24 hours but just in case:

I have come across dialogue between Man City and AC Milan superstar Kaka. Unfortunately I only have the script from the City end but I think it is clear for all as to the total content:


"Hello, is that Kaka? How do you fancy becoming the supply line to Craig Bellamy and Darius Vassell this winter?

"No, your fellow countryman doesn’t like the cold and will be out until mid April - but you will play alongside Stephen Ireland"

"No, Kaka, Ireland is a person not a country"

"yes, I fully appreciate that he is not Ronaldinho, Pirlo or even Beckham but many fans have him in their fantasy football"

"I know you are currently the richest man in Italy but we can double it!"

"erm, well, we have had a bit of a slide recently and we are currently 15th"

"erm, out of 20...... but Mark Hughes once won the double for our neighbours"

"Hughes"

"Ex Blackburn boss"

"Blackburn, Blackburn Rovers"

"No, Blackburn......Black.....Burn"

"HUGHES man, HUGHES!!!"

"He once scored a good goal against Spain"

"No, thats Gerry Armstrong..... anyway, are you coming or not?"

"Usually about two thirds full but if we play a big team its really rocks"

"yes I know, but we dont even have a car park cos all the fans walk to the ground they are so local"

"Relevance? well, I suppose its all they have to brag about whether its true or not"

"Only the one to be fair but its called 'blue moon' you will love it"

"Blue"

"yes, definitely blue, always has been"

"No, no, no, they are in Trafford"

"yes they are, steeped in it in fact but what good is history to you my ambitious friend?"

"erm, 1976 I think"

"it was the er, the er League cup if memory serves me right"

"Well, the plan was to get in the top 4 this season and then....."

"yes, I realise that but....."

"Aston Villa? Whats it got to do with them?"

"Yes, I know but we have been down this history route already"

"How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know about Nottingham Forest?"

"Yes, yes, and Leeds United also made a final but you are missing my point, this is all about the future"

"Give me strength......HUGHES!!!!"

"yes I know he did and he was a legend there but he is a changed man"

"forget them, they are falling apart"

"But all those trophies were won last year! They have won nothing in 2009"

"I have told you.... 1976!!!!"

"How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know that Virginia Wade has won Wimbledon since then?"

"Yes she probably is in her 60's"

"I dont know, probably about 10 league titles, 2 european cups and countless domestic cups what has that got to do with it?"

"76,000 why?"

"yes, every game, even minor cups I suppose, but where is this getting us?"

"Yes, the league cup is considered a minor cup over here why?"

"I know, I know, I know, ok perhaps they won the FA Cup in 1970 or something does it really matter?"

"look, Kaka, we will treble whatever you are on now, buy you a mansion in Alderley Edge and give you a helicopter for your front lawn....are you joining us?"

"NO!, its owned by the council - what has the ground got to do with anything"

"well, officially its the city of manchester stadium but most people call it Eastlands"

"EAST!, not Waste"

"You will be adored there"

"No, not there, here I meant"

"No, thats Old Trafford, I meant adored here at Waste....erm, Eastlands"

"Anderson??? what does he know?"

"Ok I hear what you say, but other than Pride, Ambition, Achievement, History, Passion and a large car park - what can they offer you?"

"what do you mean no credit left in your phone.....I phoned you"

"Hello, Mr Kaka,...... Mr Kaka are you there?............................YOU RED B*ST*RD!!!!!"

[checkyourprez]

im legitimately sad about this situation. i dont want kaka to go. :(


although, adebayour, cliche`, essien and alex would be nice. (rumored players milan would purchase with that kaka money).

I'm the same. I was a season ticket holder until I went to uni and was struggling for cash so I stopped going all the time. I go about twice a season if that and that only depends on whether I can get a hold of any sodding tickets.

at least we come from manchester (me, guy and freebs) (y)

i dont like most united fans, but im speaking about people here in america. where if we somehow get into a football conversation they'll be like 'i like man utd.' and if they're lucky they can name two players from the team. Same thing for real madrid too, that shit happens, more before but still a little bit. then again during world cups, its all on brazil. i was hoping for holland but put my money on italy and then by the end when italy won everyone jumps on that train. Its whoever is hot at the time as far as I can tell. When AC won the CL i had a jersey of theirs and i wore it one day (yeah, i support juve, but i got the jersey for liek $10, as long as it isnt inter) and someone was like 'jumping on the bandwagon, huh?'. so, idk where this was supposed to go, but for the die hard true fans of any team i respect, its when people who barely know shit about the team claim they're huge fans and have no idea wtf is going on.

well just dont generalise young man. but i know what you mean, its frustrating when people talk bollocks but its more the attitude of some that we have a divine right to win stuff that pisses me off.That is not on so thats why proper fans are happy to be top of the league and enjoy it whilst we can just as you would if your team was top.

When I was growing up, Wigan was known for its rugby team and the football team was playing in the Campbell's Soup Division 2 league or someshit. It was always going to be either United, City, Liverpool, or Everton, and United were closest.

It's worth pointing out that the year I started supporting them, they lost the title to Leeds and hadn't won a title in 25 years.

[Pres Zount]

I've been a big fan of Wigan for a while now, about a year perhaps. I could probably name a player.

Well I find Paul Scharner is a pretty solid defender, and I've been marveled at how many goals he scores per season considering his position.

One thing that annoy sme about Wigan is how each and every player that performs well for (at the most) three consecutive games, seems to be on the brim of joining asupposedly bigger club. Get some pride lads.

thats nothing to do with the players. Its paper talk and the fact is that wigan are one of the "unfashionable" clubs and the press will link their players to other more established clubs. Wigan's only been a football league club for 30 years, but i am sure you knew that already

Everton are possibly the most boring team in the league.

liverpool are feeling the pressure but benitez deserves a losing streak for leaving 20 million quid striker out of the team because he cant play any system other than one up front

[roosta]

so...transfer window is closed....

keane going to spurs is LOL for all concerned....

benetiz is a mad man...i hope torres gets injured.

gooners....drederick...toucan..what do you think of arshavin?

its weird..im glad we spent, im glad we got a good player....but.....we broke out transfer record to get in a replacement for our best player/captain, instead of getting in the flamini/vieira/gilberto player we need long term..although it may help address our perennial "have changes but never do anything about them problem" that was briefly alleviated last year when fab and flamini were on fire together...

i remember all the pants-shitting about arshavin last summer me saying he was good, but i dunno if he was worth the hype.

BUT..overall i am happy..im happy we've gotten new blood in..maybe he can spark adebayor and help out RVP who is carrying the team..im glad arsene remembered how to buy...(although..sometimes thats a bad thing :) )

[ToucanSpam]

This isn't a bad move at all, this guy was impressive at Euro 2008 despite missing two games. I can see him making a difference immediately. Van Persie sure could use the support right now...

On a somewhat related note RVP is awesome.

I reckon the top 6 teams will finish in the order they are now in unless Hiddink can squeeze something out of Chelsea in which case they'll finish third, Villa in fourth. Everton will seriously push Arsenal for fifth place now that they have a striker on their books who can score a goal or two.

Chelsea are turning into a joke (if they weren't already). Great news for the Premiership, great news for people who like to see John Terry cry.

They are a joke of a club. What manager would want that job? Now they only want Hiddink to get into Europe...I hope they fall to bits.

it's out of character for me to predict things in a somewhat accurate fashion. Eduardo's wonder goal against Burnley is one of the small things that I think this young Arsenal team need in terms of their confidence and self-belief. got a bit of swagger back.

and Liverpool...christ, i dont like them, but its great craic watching the race for the title. I had them dead and buried a month ago....

Man U fans...squeeky bum time?

look, its not up for debate that we have fucked up last coupla games but the liverpool team havent been in this position this late into the season. I am a bit worried but i think the liverpool players will get more of a squeaky bum than our lads who have experienced this before but its going to be close. still think the mickeys have to win all thier games to have a hope.

never thought this was would actually happen

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7975700.stm

EDIT: I am now doubting this as i have just remembered what the date is but i dont think the newcastle chairman would blag this, he'd get fucking lynched. And i dont think the beeb would either.

in the middle of a relegation dogfight, hire a man with no managerial experience.

they deserve everything they get.

in their defence - no other fucker would go there. he's the only one who is going to get time if they do go down, thats how their fans minds work. if they are black and white thru and thru they dont care about experience. its mental though.

apparently, he's only doing it cos they have finally lined up another investor

[Nygel]

Yep. Dennis Wise left his position.

And yes, its all mental, and im sure all us fans will shit our pants to have him as manager. now if only we could keep over 30% of our players fit at one point.

[Guy Incognito]

well - didnt start too well for shearer, they have a really hard run in, its gonna be tough for newcastle.

liverpool are winning a lot of games really late this season, i have definitely moved up a couple of stages in the worryometer, we best fucking win tomorrow. Come on united!

[Drederick Tatum]

Ronaldo going to Real for 75million (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/apr/03/cristiano-ronaldo-real-madrid-transfer). good riddance. for 75million United can fleece Valencia of all their good players.

probably as Valencia are in deep shit,like Southampton.Also there's up and coming Brazilians like Neymar,Dentinho,Keirrison or Argentinians like Gaitan.Also players like Tosic can get playing more.Ever since the Ronaldo/Real Madrid talk started it come true,Ronaldo thinks he's bigger than United so that's why United will let him go.

[roosta]

Cesc.

Pure class.

[Drederick Tatum]

^I'm waiting for my brother to get home so we can watch MOTD together, but I've read the match report and yeah, thank god he's back. lol @ Villa for trying so hard.

[paul jones]

MACHEDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(y)

FUCK YOU SCOUSE CUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(y)

[Freebasser]

Stunning goal. I've been looking up some of his finishing for the under 18s and he looks fucking impressive.

Here's hoping Fergie doesn't farm him out or sell him on like Campbell, Manucho or Rossi (y)

[camo]

Yeah but none of those guys did that though.

What a game. I was like a woman on the change watching that match.

[Guy Incognito]

i was on way back from cardiff in the car with the family, set off at midday, got stuck in two traffic jams, had to stop to feed baby and didnt get back till 5.40. The car radio wasnt working, i was going fucking insane, got in the house, switched the telly on and the first word i heard was "MACHEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and i was like "who?" . what a goal, what a game and what a shame for the scousers. Come on.

[camo]

what a shame for the scousers.

You can stop that for starters!

All I've heard all sodding day is people whinging about our 93 min goal and that Liverpool should still be top. Hold on soft lads, didn't Liverpool score in the 92nd!?!?!?!

Plus I've heard on the grapevine that Ronnie could be off and we get Ribery in the summer.

[Guy Incognito]

I was being sarky marky. I thought you of all people would have spotted that dude.


i couldnt give a fuck what ronaldo does next year, we'll be allright, i think he's given us his best years anyway, he aint gonna score 40+ goals in any other season ever.

dont think riberry is all that

[camo]

Soz Moz, I thought you'd know that I was being sarky too :(

I like Ribery. He's pretty.

[Guy Incognito]

Soz Moz, I thought you'd know that I was being sarky too :(



doh! my brain aint working very well today

[camo]

just like our makeshift defence yesterday then :D

[Guy Incognito]

get in!

loads of goals today, and we managed to scrape it thanks to the boy macheda again!(y)

the chelsea game looks a good un, it'll be a good MOTD tonight

[Drederick Tatum]

unbelievable goal from Torres. if lesser strikers attempted anything like that they'd be lucky not to injure themselves let alone blast it over the keeper and into the far corner. contender for goal of the year.

Arsenal to decide the title.

[Drederick Tatum]

...Agger's goal wasn't half bad either.

[Planetary]

Hello Ladies ;) (http://www.skysports.com/football/match_report/0,19764,11065_3005426,00.html)

[camo]

Well done Wolves. See you next season (y)

Who do you think is going to take your place?

[Planetary]

preferably west brom, stoke and newcastle, but i dont think stoke, so im not really too fussed. probably middlesbrough.

WHO CARES :D

you need to bring back George Berry to show that cunt Fellaini what an afro is all about

[checkyourprez]

i would love to see newcastle get relegated.

serves as a reason to get mike owen to a better squad.

i would also like to see taylor and obafemi some where else.


but to be honest i think shearer will start twisting some nuttsacks and they will put it out.

[Planetary]

too right paul. what a quality afro that was :)(y)

if you ask me newcastle need to go backwards to go forwards. they go down, lose some players, start fresh like wolves did 3 years ago, a major revamp. wolves barely had a squad 3 years ago and no manager. shearer could cut his teeth down there too.

[camo]

shearer could cut his teeth down there too.

Ha ha :D


Yeah it would be interesting to see them go down. Newcastle are a big club but punch way over their weight. They have an ever expecting fan base but some sort of a hex over them. Players never seem to perform to their potential and are always out injured.

[Freebasser]

Oof! 4-4. Cracking game that! I couldn't see United scoring 4 in a match at the moment.

To be honest, 1 would be a stretch :/

[checkyourprez]

effin A i am pissed this was not shown in the states.

the sneaky russian with 4 goals.

torres and my boy the jew benhayoun with 2 each.

plus a goal by each team in the 90+.

thats as much of a certified classic game with out me seeing that i can think of.


but whats up with liverpools defense, thats a lot of goals conceded lately. hope agger goes to the milanese though ill say that.

[Drederick Tatum]

I got home and tuned in at 60mins and it had just gone 2-1. had been drinking somewhat heavily at that point so I kinda fell asleep on the couch. awoke, went to bed, and then woke up this morning to a 4-4 scoreline. wow.

that's how to spend 16million, Tottenham.

[Planetary]

I can't beleive i missed out on that game! still though at least i caught the champions league 4-4.

seen the highlights this morning on sky sports news, 4 quality goals from arshavin (y)

it was brilliant but i thought it was gonna be even better when they had that goal disallowed right at the end. that would have been awesome.
Arshavin is definitely going to be in my Fantasy football team next season, he is going to feature heavily next year i think.

But obviously there will be no bbmb league, or will there?

[Planetary]

damn right there will. im probably just gonna buy wolves out of principle.

what can you do?

is this years still going on? i think i created my team but didnt save it and found out months later, then just couldnt be arsed to do anything about it :(

[Guy Incognito]

is it fuck. I was doing really well and started bragging in the thread and freebizzle tells me that he hasnt bothered with it at all because there wasnt enough players and it looks like no bugger has looked at it for months(n)

[roosta]

I think Silvestre, bitter at being sold by United, was attempting to help Liverpool win the title by allowing them to score so many fucking times.

He is utter shit. It was said at the time, but if he's not good enough for United, he shouldn't be good enough for the Arse.



But...at the same time...ARSHAVIN....what an instant legend....

(although, lest we remember a certain mr EL BEASTO Batista scored 4 against the Scousers at Anfield....what became of him...hehe...i jest...)

Anyhoo..it was brilliant. Let the record note we had 5 first teamers, including 3 of our starting back 5 out. And we went to the homes of wanna-be-champions and put 4 (and should have been 5, if not 6) past them.

I was in the pub with my liverpool supporting girlfriend. Suffice to say i went home alot happier than she.

[Freebasser]

Half time 1-0.

Keep it up, lads (y)

[camo]

Few more please! (y)

[peterclamp]

Nooooooooooooooooooo...we need the points for survival!! :(

[Freebasser]

2-0! :D

Sorry, peterclamp :(

[peterclamp]

bollox!

We only need a few points for safety...which i think we should get out of the next few matches, to be honest i didnt expect anything from tonight...

As long as we beat Newcastle :D

[Guy Incognito]

five two(y)

and spurs can whinge all they want about the decision (which wasnt a penalty), its how teams come back from these setbacks and they capitulated massively, we kept plugging away at 2-0 down and got a break. And if spurs want totalk about wrong decisions lets talk about palacios' two footed lunge that he didnt even get a card for.

[checkyourprez]

the penalty opened the floodgates. it was creaky before that but whos to say what would have happend if they never get it. i think its some more man u bias bs by the refs though ill tell you that.



giggs pfa player of the year. that is some horse shit right there.

Fuck off Man U bias. Why do people say that? As if there is such a thing. Tell me how you believe this.

Why not Giggs? Have you seen some of the things he has done this season? He was on fire mid season. Tell me some other 35 year old prem players who've done the same.

i could care less his age. it is not a life time achievement award. he only started 12 games for man u. saw action in 12 as a sub. 1 goal 7 assists.

arshavin 9 games, 6 goals 4 assists.


vidic, gerrard or rooney would have been much better choices.



and camo dont let your love for man u blind you of the bias. its there, be honest brosif.

[Guy Incognito]

It is the PLAYERS who vote for it, granted the final 6 nominations were a little strange ( thought lampard deserved a shout if i am honest) but the 6 are picked in january by the PLAYERS so if they wanted to recognise giggs for the outstanding career he's had and for achieving quite a few milestones/records in the last 12 months then its not horse shit.

[Guy Incognito]

whats the difference between alan shearer and newcastle utd?

alan shearer will be on match of the day next season.

0-0 draw home to pompey, not good enough, newcastle are fucked

[Freebasser]

um yes, it is still horse shit. i dont care if the big men of the tribes of papa new guinean vote for the award, the outcome is sheeeaat. its a player of the year award, giggs has not been the player of the year.


and its reaaaally stupid to have the voting done in january. it, along with the team of the year, should be voted on at the end of the year.
